The Golf Room

Hello Golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter.

This week we recap Tiger Woods’ ‘edge of the seat’ Masters win (what else would you expect?), we pit two of our favourite shoes head-to-head, and we have a enthralling Video of the Week that's sure to get your golfing juices flowing once again.

Enjoy the read.

Tour news

Woods you believe it?

It would take a heart of stone not to have been moved by Tiger’s Masters victory on Sunday night. Sure, the American divides opinion when it comes to his off-course antics, but that should take nothing away from the magnitude of his victory at the most famous of tournaments.

Two-years ago, Woods required a nerve-blocker just to attend the Champions' Dinner and all but admitted his game was done. A spinal fusion surgery later and Tiger has completed arguably the greatest comeback of all time.

Tiger's triumph was matched by Molinari's misfortune, with the Italian squandering a two-shot lead on the back-nine as he found the water twice in the space of four holes.

With the next two Majors taking place at courses where the great man has won before - Bethpage Black and Pebble Beach - could we be in-store for something special in 2019?

Mind the gap

Do you often find yourself stuck between clubs? One club will launch too far beyond your target whilst the other will leave you short. If so, you're either very unlucky or you need to come and see us for a gapping session.

Example of poor distance gapping

Distance gapping is the art of putting your set together whilst ensuring each gap between one club and the next is equal.

Take your wedges as an example. Say you have a PW with around 46 degrees of loft and sand wedge at 56 degrees; this 10-degree gap could leave you with a distance gap of around 30 yards or more! What do you do if you need to play a shot right in the middle of those distances?

The same can be said at the other end of your set, but usually this will involve two clubs going the same distance. If you have a 3-iron in the bag as well as a hybrid and a 5-wood, chances are you'll be hitting them similar distances - so it's time for one to go!

If any of this is resonating with you, then let’s get you booked in before you head out for your next round.

Let the battle commence

Classic or sporty? Colourful or traditional? Style is a personal choice and with brands offering up any number of designs, we have never had so much choice when it comes to your footwear options. With this in mind, we pit two styles up against one another in the ultimate battle of the shoes.

Which will you choose?

The battle between sporty and traditional purely comes down to taste but one thing is undeniable, both the adidas Tour360 XT and 4ORGED shoes will have you oozing confidence at address whichever one your taste swings towards.

In the red corner we have the Tour360 XT-SL. Boasting a more traditional look and the flagship design of adidas’ range, the shoe is a favourite of major champion Dustin Johnson and it's not hard to see why thanks to breathable protection and midsole cushioning for supreme comfort throughout your round.

In the blue corner we have the sporty 4ORGED shoe that gives the wearer more of a trainer look that is so popular on Tour. Enhanced stability through lateral support and Adiwear traction on the outsole gives a high level of performance with style and comfort in mind.

Both shoes are worthy winners but which is your favourite?

We have a great footwear offering in-store so be sure to pop in and try some on to ensure you get the perfect fit.

Video of the Week

22 years on from his first Green Jacket, Tiger answered questions surrounding his ability to win another major title in emphatic fashion on Sunday afternoon. Now there's just one question remaining: will he reach Jack's record of 18 major triumphs?
